It’s just leaked out that Basildon Council’s Cabinet will meet on Saturday, December 12,to decide which out of two bailiffs companies to award the two million pound contract for the eviction operation at Dale Farm.One is Constant & Co.
Dale Farm is part of an Irish Traveller site on Oak Lane in Crays Hill, Essex which houses over 1,000 people. It is the largest traveller site in the UK and has been the subject of a evictoion and court action for years.
This is a fateful step as once they “mobilize”a bailiff force, there maybe no going back.For this reason, mothers are forming a Dale Farm Homeless Committee to organize the biggest yet demonstration outside the Basildon Centre (town hall) at noon that day.As its close to UN Human Rights Day (10 Dec – which happens to be Richard Sheridan’s birthday)it will be a rally against decisions being made by local councils which still want to get rid of Travellers – spending million on brutal policies which solve nothing.
Dale Farm mothers are asking supporters to pull out all the stop for this one. Many children will
be coming. Can anyone help bring in a samba band – or other musicians? Anybody have contact with street threatre groups? Help making banners and posters etc? Minibuses will bring people in from Dale Farm.
Any extra help with transport? Contact with groups likely to join and help swell numbers? A meeting is taking place tomorrow (Thursday 22 Oct) of supporters at Essex University to expand on plans. So if you have any ideas, suggests, offers of help, post back today to
